Tiny Glade Getting Started Guide | Hints & Tips For Beginners

[@pdrgn]

I think this would be a 10/10 game only if there were people doing random stuff (washing clothes, planting things, kids playing etc) and the possibility to place a vegetable garden

[@Geekism]

It's not something I need personally, but I know a lot of people would like it!

[@mittenista]

Cannot agree enough on the vegetable garden. Also maybe some farm land, different kinds of path.

[@myrthemeijer8507]

I hope they add this and small items you can add so you don't have to play around with the trapdoors, would make the game absolutely perfect

[@Stinerator]

I dont need it personally but it would be a cool toggle! Watching them fish or chop wood or fold clothes or cook over a fire while the children look at the flowers or something. Game barely came out and they are releasing a wave of big fixes and patches. Im assuming new content will be added as time goes on and the game will get even better

[@carlosxramirez]

This games already a 10/10..

[@AshleyKitsune]

Man I was already sold on buying this game after the first 2 minutes but then when he lifted the bottom of the building up to pull it off the ground, like that it put a big smile on my face. What a cool game!!

[@Geekism]

You'll have another 20 moments like that when you explore too!

[@zenith3515]

Snag the game. Im 6 hours in and loving it.

[@Jane-Roe1126]

I only paid $ 12.47 I built a whole village.

[@jax_wildguess]

Cool game indeed!

[@FinnoUgric]

Finally, someone who has vision into the real life structures and supports, when creating a building.

[@Geekism]

I'm no expert, but thanks!

[@courtney2878]

THE STEPS ON THE FLATTENED BUILDINGS HAVE CHANGED MY WORLDDDD

[@Geekism]

Yay!

[@TropicsDweller]

I love this game! The colors, the sounds, the visuals... everything about it gently beckons "come play me and melt your stress away!".

[@Geekism]

It's a great stress reliever!

[@Drewgonzo11]

New favorite game. I've been making villages, taking screenshots and using them in my dnd campaigns as locations and homes for my party! Tiny Glade really goes beyond the realm of creativity.

[@josiahp.6960]

Oh, that's FUCKING genius. I'm gonna do that so much now.

[@MixedFeelings-um1uf]

I am only a few hours in the game, but lacked the creativity to be honest, so I did miss some stuff. I don't mind looking up the possibilities, it just makes my own game richer. So thanks for that! :)

[@Geekism]

Glad I could help!

[@Individual123]

I have had this game since day dot and have yet to build a thing. Spending all my time watching people build their excellent creations. How relaxing is that.

[@Temaile]

You make this look so easy! I'm exited to try some new things in the game tomorrow. My favourite thing I did so far was just put a thin path through the thick forest and at the end make a secret little witch house. This game is amazing.

[@Geekism]

Sounds awesome!

[@GabbySullivan-c6j]

I randomly clicked on this video and I cannot overstate my excitement when I heard the opening jingle. Your Animal Crossing streams got me through the beginning of the pandemic. So glad you’re playing this game! 😄

[@alyssajoltgames]

for anyone around 10:30 and wondering, you can remove the crenellations with the paint tool. at the moment it's a button thats all the way at the left when you select the piece (its in with the section that makes wooden trims) you can also use this same method to make more even stone wall tops

[@collinvickers2345]

You can even out the arches on the arcade wall, by using the scissor tool to separate it into the number of segments you want.

[@Geekism]

Neat tip, thanks!

[@shiverwolfplays]

Thanks for this!! Tiny Glade is so different from most games I play and I was getting frustrated trying to make straight walls -- love ALL the tips you've shown here! This'll definitely help me move forward with the game. Much appreciated!

[@Geekism]

Thanks so much for watching, glad it was helpful :)

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Same. I'm used to building in survival games. That means building under attack/threat of attack from PvP/PvE enemies. You typically need exact precision in placement, which can mean the difference between either life and death, or, a nonfunctional/aesthetically displeasing/less structurally secure building that could leave you vulnerable, or, unable to expand and upgrade. Not to mention the grinding for limited resources, need for storage/protection of said resources, and all the tools that comes with it. Games like Valheim, The Forest, and Rust. Great games, but the building tends to be very different. It requires a lot of time and precision, and though it's one of my favorite parts of those games, I'm glad games like this exist.

[@erwanyon4130]

I had figured out some on my own but I never though about layering buildings to have different paint jobs ! It’s so cute I can’t wait to try it

[@edinop4205]

Thank you! These are really simple to understand and easy tips to follow!

[@Geekism]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NyteZero_N0]

A lot of good Tips and Tricks to improve ones experience with the game. I'm getting hooked up with the game more and more, its that cozy. Thank you so much 👍

[@Geekism]

Glad to hear it!

[@MissArelynx]

Thank you so much, what a great guide! I had no clue how to do a majority of this stuff. Gonna make sure to fav this one so I can come back when I get stuck with something. I'm loving this game so far. Can definitely tell it's gonna be one I come back to over and over again to just zen and chill out and be creative. I'm excited to see if they add more styles and whatnot in the future, or better yet, if they added a way to customize how the inside of buildings look. Then I can REALLY see getting lost playing this for days/weeks on end lol. Again, much appreciated for the vid Jonti!

[@Geekism]

Thank you so much for watching :) Glad you found it useful, enjoy the game :)

[@shoulderpyro]

the moment they allow for interior decoration its game over for me - i wont be playing anythings were that to happen! (x Given the walking camera in photo mode does allow you to walk through doors (but not walls) does maybe hint at something like that coming. Or its just my false hope

[@lukemaher1062]

Really appreciate this man. Brilliant video, really informative and well structured. Thanks

[@KurtzeTube]

This game is a technical marvel. What a wonderful time to be alive

[@Galaxmul]

I've already spent a few hours in the full version and a lot of hours in the demo - but I missed a few things - thank you very much!!

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching :)

[@benjaminandrew9057]

Glad I found your video. I only just started messing around with the game/program. You showed me a few things I'd wondered how to do and couldn't figure out on my own.

[@Ni2_dive]

Genius! Thank you so much for charing it with us!

[@WarbandGames]

That is a pretty cool engine, the possibilities in city-building games with an engine like this are endless. However, NPC's would be the icing on the cake with it. Also, an option to add props would be a welcome edition. This game definitely has a bright future if the Devs play their cards right and always put the players front and center in everything they do.

[@ChrisAnn...]

Thank you a million times. I was struggling with how some of the buildings were made. They are so pretty 😍 easy to follow instructions. I love this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Geekism]

Thanks so much, glad it was helpful

[@thadengaming4778]

Absolutely amazing video!! Thank you! I just needed a bit of knowledge to boost my understanding of what the game is capable and your video was exactly what I needed! Thanks ☺️

[@frozenheroe3771]

Enjoyed your video very much! You have a calm commentary which is very relaxing.

[@crnova7]

After frustrating hours with city skylines this is a breeze and your video helps even more

[@shirokuma196]

I hope they add a generating crowd and what mood they are set in, such as you built a fort then generate an army set to "defend the fort" or generate a crowd in an empire set as "parade of the heroes" or just your normal village set to "day to day life" that would be wonderful.

[@CosmicApe]

Really looking forward to playing this one. I wonder how it'll run on the Steam Deck. I hope they add more architectural styles in the future. Seems mostly medieval-based right now, but would love to see different time periods and cultures.

[@mytheoryofmind]

Steam Deck user here, I’m installing it right now to give it a go! I’ve heard it runs decently. I’ll be back with an update

[@Whotfismax]

YES!

[@tinaLPLS]

I play on stam and it's smooth!

[@alexander1055]

​@@mytheoryofmind so that was a lie.

[@juliemaw3329]

I run it on steamdeck but it's 100x easier with a wireless mouse and keyboard

[@wildchainio]

absolutely beautiful! very inspiring :) thanks for covering this!

[@HeyItsAmyZing]

Wow, there's more to this than I was expecting! Buying it next week, thanks for sharing!

[@Geekism]

Glad I could help!

[@Cornamentandy37]

Amazing! it's so simple and yet beautiful, love the game

[@Geekism]

It's VERY satisfying :D

[@carlitosskater89]

Im going to need a video on that last "city" fortress you are currently building. That looks amazing!

[@Geekism]

Check the channel :)

[@Star_Rattler]

Thanks for this helpful videos, my buildings were very simple and I couldn't figure out how to make them more interesting. I am not very creative/imaginative (not saying this in a self-deprecating way, just being realistic) so looking at your work in progress at the end really opened up my mind to more possibilities.

[@Geekism]

Glad it was helpful, I hope you enjoy the game :)

[@atNguyen-vo3lr]

I didn't know what to do until I watched this video. Thank you so much!

[@naomiglass3335]

One thing I found out while playing it yesterday is if you right click the extra "accessories" like the ladder, wheelbarrow, etc, you can move them freely around the build and theres an option to duplicate them!

[@gaines8807]

Exactly the video I was looking for after a few hours of playing. I built a little village…excited to learn

[@Geekism]

Awesome! Have fun@

[@Broadshore]

Okay.... I'm sold to the game. Perfect for your DnD or Fantasy builds

[@Liluzib3rt]

These tips are SO helpful! Thank you!

[@Geekism]

Glad it was helpful!

[@222good]

Excellent info for beginners!

[@Geekism]

Thanks!

Never even heard of this game but man it looks awesome. Thanks!

[@GoodKahuna]

This was really helpful, thanks a lot!!

[@Geekism]

Glad it was helpful!

[@narwhalethefancy]

13:54 If you make the first floor's roof a pyramid shap, no gable but coming to a point, before flattening it, then other buildings will snap to the direct center rather than the line of the gable :D

[@Geekism]

Neat tip! Thanks!

[@koen2715]

This is a really good tutorial showing some very simple yet effective tricks. Thank you

[@Geekism]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TristanTzara100]

Thank you so much for this. I was exactly what I needed. I had no idea about right clicking on a building! That will change everything!

[@Geekism]

Have fun!

[@Zeiram20]

i need multi-story stairs!

[@CoxJul]

Only had 20 mins before going on a trip; can't wait to get back. Question: can we make a tower lean (you've probably worked out what I want to make 😊)

[@Geekism]

Not really, you can make overhangs, but each wall is straight at the moment

[@adrianco10]

This is the perfect game for diorama ideas!!

[@CafeLatinoAmerica0]

Dude your voice and this game are hypnotizing

[@Geekism]

Thank you :)

[@nikofloof6731]

The game reminds me of viva piñata! Just like, going around a small space, and building

[@PeterFurstenberg]

I'd love to see this expand into an RPG genre where you can place characters, create quests and story elements to interact with. Soooooo much potential! It's absolutely gorgeous!

[@Stinerator]

No man. That's not the point of this game. This "game" is more like an immersive AI art building tool tbh. The idea of zero stress is the actual point of the game. No quests, no xp, no macrotransactions, no rewards other than your creativity. No pressure. Just build. That's what the game is going for. To transform it into an RPG transforms it into something completely opposite of what it is supposed to be. If you want a game like that you could play civilizations or whatever it is. Or minecraft.

[@GromLee]

Good video! I have one queation though. How do you make good stairs? Do you just layer platforms into a strairs?

[@Geekism]

Basically yeah, you can also build lots of walls at different heights. But it's work either way

[@thugbunny6669]

QUESTION! I made my first town, now I’m trying to make a second however my hammer will NOT eliminate trees in any of the season glades. Same goes for erasing anything, so my eraser is not working anymore

[@shaunnicholson4916]

With the December update you can move/copy the auto-created items, Like benches, wheels etc.

[@ChrisAthanasopoulos]

1. Can we level the top of our walls when they're built on uneven terrain? 2. Can we get freehand cobblestone paths?

[@stephendupuis6062]

Somehow if you build two chimneys close together they become smoke stacks. I haven’t quite figured this one out yet.

[@Geekism]

Haven't seen that yet!

[@cristianadiaconu4807]

About the clutter that randomly spawns when you place doors windows, trap doors, if you just click on them and move the items you want after they spawn you can keep and move them wherever you want and then just delete the trap doors, no need to hide them. If you right click on the clutter items like on a house/wall you get some extra controls, just rotating and duplicate, but still, i found it pretty neat. I don't know if it's widely spread knowledge as i just got the game last night and found out by mistake, but hope this helps someone 😅

[@madamemage4660]

Me a week ago: “What is this Tiny Glade game that keeps popping up on my feed?” Me after watching this video: “Welp, there goes my free time for the next three months…”

[@Aetila]

I though you would show how that wonderful little colorful city was made, step by step...that would have been fun to follow and learn.

[@Malici0usPuff1n]

So many useful tips and tricks!! Thank you!

[@amorimontagnus2042]

This was so indredibly helpful hun, thanks so much.

[@Geekism]

Thanks, glad it was useful!

[@SirSurreal]

It'd be cool if you could download different architecture from different eras like Edwardian, Tudor, colonial styles. Export to 3d models and paint for model railways or tabletop gaming.

[@kieranfarah1597]

Totally awesome, thank you

[@Rawadhii]

You can also remove the bumpy bits on buildings if you don’t want them in the color changing tool!

[@vita-lz8fs]

Wonderful tips! Thank you so much Can you please tell me how can I change the type of trees?

[@Geekism]

Not possible currently, trees just spawn randomly

[@vita-lz8fs]

@@Geekism thank you

[@hyenaholicproductions9033]

Doorways have been fixed, they work on dirt now.

[@Geekism]

Yeah! About 20 minutes after this video was done lol, still, most people were struggling with doors on second floors, so glad that bit still applies

[@PeppercornBingBong]

This game ain’t got SHIT on large glade

[@Geekism]

Size doesn't always matter ;)

whats large glade

[@Geekism]

It's just a joke ;)

@@Geekism ohh im quite oblivious aha

[@mittenista]

Idk. They *call* it Large Glade, but it turns out to be Slightly Below Average Glade. Wish they'd focused on developing other cool features instead of lying about size.

[@captainkenzie6873]

This seems like a great way to plan out gaming boards before building them.

[@zenith3515]

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Solid tips and ideas.

[@Geekism]

Thanks!

[@demonfandango]

Thanks for putting this out. Game is a fun time but I was getting frustrated on how to shape the roofs - the opening minute or so of your video has opened the game up for me completely. I can experiment now that I know how the tools actually work. Honestly it's the only thing missing from the game - a proper tutorial to show how to use the tools.

[@Geekism]

Yeah, a little walk-through showing you the basics would really help. Glad the video was useful!

[@demonfandango]

@@Geekism Agreed. Thanks again, appreciated.

[@sahhull]

A window at grass level also becomes a door. Can grow by adding more

[@thegreatemuwar3677]

About windows and doors : you can put windoors on the ground itself to avoid using an harder to control door

Great video. Very informative. Ty!

[@Geekism]

Thank you :)

[@Eric19401]

Thanks for this guide. I want to play this game whenever I have a few minutes available; I don't want to spend months hoping to stumble across a mechanic.

Glad I could help!

[@_meowmoiselle]

Oh Man, you are incredibly smart!!!

[@Geekism]

No, just spend too long playing games :D

[@LuisRodriguez-hy8lp]

Would love to see different style of buildings. Perhaps Japanese or more middle eastern Mosque domes, maybe even some gothic architecture.

[@Arktos33]

Nice video. How do you cycle between the types of windows?

[@Geekism]

When you place one, just click again and again to scroll through

[@iAmThEeXAMpLE2013]

I just bought the game, problem is I'm not a very creative person which makes me give up easily however I really wanna give it a go because its such a chill game.

[@mytheoryofmind]

I really hope they add steam workshop to this game as it’ll add so much extra stuff to do when you eventually run out of ideas!

[@darthpayback]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching :)

[@iplaygames7445]

I hope they expand this into something more Sci-fi as well.

a Copy /Paste option would be great addition,

Thank you for the video! does anyone know how i can broaden the given terrain and also build outside of it? im on PC

The current limit is set, it is called 'Tiny' Glade after all!

[@davesunhammer4218]

How do you "undo"?? I saw you around 19:50-ish undo some windows??

[@Geekism]

I'm away from my computer atm, but I think it's x or c... check the settings where the game gives you a full list of the controls :)

[@judithpalmer130]

The undo controls should be at the top centre of your screen.

[@paperbox3615]

would there be a way to make this into a 3d model/game environment?

[@skyismytherapy5374]

fine ill buy the game IT LOOKS SO COOL

[@MorriAelthyn]

"have seen a few people get a little frustrated" Yeah you basically saved me from giving up and uninstalling the game. I downloaded this because it was supposed to be something cozy and undemanding for me to do while recovering from surgery. If I had wanted a game I had to "figure out", I would have gotten yet another puzzle game instead.

[@limse314]

hey, is the playground is limited? is that big enough ?

[@Geekism]

It's called 'Tiny' Glade :D I enjoy the limited space, keeps it managable and helps nuture creativity

In the opening, on the second picture to the left there is wooden edge to the round building. How do you do that?

[@TrollAxeThrower]

Lol found it. Just removing the roof, then coloring with wood.
